Hi,

I am trying to write some heap monitoring utilities. For this I need to
modify the function "free" so that it returns an unsigned int, indicating
how many bytes have been freed on the heap.

Can someone tell me

1) Is this functionality held in libc.a

2) Which source file I need to download

3) How I should modify the code

4) Any other useful info,

By the way this is only for debug purposes,  I do not intending to leave the
code in a modified state.

TIA
